Lox,
Four days ago I said to you

"I admit to making a generalistion about B.P. culture.
I said that girls are generally discouraged from engaging in courtship.
Are you saying that is false?"

You could have spared us dozens of acrimonious posts if you had just said something like,

"The culture is not homogeneous, and it is changing, but that is broadly correct."

Why do you find it so hard?
We could have moved on.
